Using X11 Colors in Color LaTeX Documents

`rgb2tex.pl' is a perl script which converts the X11 color definitions found in the `rgb.txt' file into definitions for the \color command from the pstricks package. This allows you to use X11 colors in the postscript or PDF output of your LaTeX documents.

Here is a short example of how to use the output of the perl script.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks, pstcol}
\begin{document}

\input{rgb.tex}

   {\color{forestgreen} This is forestgreen. }

\end{document}

Some people decided to make knowledge into property. That wasn't capitalism speaking; that was a greedy scam. There wasn't anything normatively acceptable about it. It contravened the freedom of speech and ideas. We [don't] engage in it because it [excludes] people from ideas.
